This answer is taken from The Way of Traditional Taekwondo Volume A Philosophy and Tradition.

Often people misunderstand the striking technique to be an offensive attack when in actuality, the chi-gi (strike) can be a mahk-gi (block) if used against an attack and can also be a defensive maneuver based on the situation.

Songahm three is the poom-sae (form) just prior to officially being eligible to spar. It is imperative that a student understands that defense is not always waiting for someone else to chi-gi (strike) first. In the case of Songahm #3, the chi-gi (strike) can be either in response to an attack or pre-empt an attack because the student felt that allowing the opponent to attack would bring great bodily harm that would negate the ability to respond.

Why do you think that granulated zinc is used instead of a block?

Granulated zinc is used instead of a block as the surface area of granulated zinc is much more than that of a block. Hence it's easier for it to react with oxygen if the area is more. This is why it's used.
